    Seventeen-year-old Rei Asano hears war drums in his chest when he's angry, and lately, they're always beating. Ever since a lightning storm cracked open the Tokyo skyline and nearly leveled his school, Rei's life has been unraveling: blackouts, hallucinations, bursts of electrical force he can't control. The truth? He's become the vessel of Raijin, the ancient Japanese god of thunder and destruction. And Raijin isn't just waking up. He's taking over. Then there's Kaori Tsukimura: sharp-tongued, tightly guarded, and hiding a quiet grief that runs deeper than anyone knows. She keeps her emotions locked away, until a whisper in the dark calls her by a name no one remembers-Inome, the goddess of love... and vengeance, erased from the divine pantheon centuries ago. When their paths collide, Rei and Kaori discover that their bond is more than coincidence-it's myth repeating itself. Raijin and Inome were once divine opposites: passion and restraint, war and yearning. Now, as their hosts grow closer, those ancient desires threaten to reignite with catastrophic force. Across the city, other teens are awakening as hosts to gods: some long-forgotten, some desperate to remain in control. Factions rise-one fighting to resurrect the erased, another determined to destroy them before the world tears open. With divine war on the horizon, Rei and Kaori must decide what's more dangerous: the gods within them, or the feelings pulling them together. But every time they touch, the Veil thins. Memories blur. The line between self and god fractures. And love, if it still belongs to them at all, might be the thing that ends everything.

    This story will be going by Japanese Mythology and a few ideas of mine. No offense to any religion was intended in this story. Amatsu or "God" as many mortal know him is a supreme ruler. He can manipulate time and as has a human wife by the name Conesca. Conesca and him had two daughters; Tamiko/Miku and Rinaya/Aya. Tamiko is the eldest and resembles her mother greatly and Aya is the "perfect angel". Now, Aya is around 25-Earth-years-old. In reality, she is several thousand years older. She dreams to go to Earth, or as her father would say it, The Pitiful Planet. But it is forbidden. However, she does not let this get in the way of her dreams and flies down while no one was paying attention. And there, she complete's her bucket list. Based on: "Alluring Secret - Black Vow" - Vocaloids (Rin and Len) Partly inspired by: "Cendrillon" - Vocaloids (Miku and Kaito)

    Japanese mythology includes a vast number of gods, goddesses, and spirits. Most of the stories concern the creation of the world, the foundation of the islands of Japan, and the activities of deities, humans, animals, spirits, and magical creatures. Some myths describe characters and events associated with particular places in Japan. Others are set in legendary locations, such as the heavens or the underworld. The mythology of Japan has a long history dating back more than 2,000 years. It became part of two major religious traditions: Shinto, an indigenous religion, and Buddhism, which developed in India and came to Japan from China and Korea. 2021

    NOW A WATTPAD FEATURED LIST STORY!!! Being the best comes with a terrible price. Slade Wilson, AKA Deathstroke, is among the finest assassins and mercenaries in the world, but every relationship he’s ever had has ended in carnage and betrayal, whether with father or brother, wife and child, friend and ally. Of all those he’s ever cared about, only two are left. One is his daughter Rose, known among costumed adventurers as Ravager. She’s a member of the Teen Titans, but she’s never felt entirely at home among them or anywhere else. Even though her father trained her mercilessly and dosed her with the same serum that made him what he is before he turned on her, he's all the family she has. The other is Yukime Kuwano, a professional henchman who seems to live and breathe secrets. She’s been his lover for two years, and she’s searching for something in this world or the next. Slade wants his daughter to continue her training and follow in his footsteps. Knowing how little Rose trusts him, he's come up with the perfect bait to lure her back: someone she can trust. A new mother. Yukie is all the things he isn't--warm, reliable, and kind. Yukie thinks she's taking her lover on vacation to Japan as a way of saying goodbye to both him and the world. Her interest in the supernatural is leading her places where there is no turning back. But when Rose unexpectedly joins them in Tokyo, they bond so quickly and so naturally it's like they're already a family, just as Slade planned. The question now is: Who will get what they want, and what are they willing to sacrifice to get it? (Busy being rewritten into an original story called 'Snowblood' in the hopes I can get it published.)
